From the French edition of The Local

Three adults and a teenager have been arrested over a planned attack on the country’s security forces in the coming days, French prosecutors said Monday, which a minister described as “extremely violent”.

All four were arrested on Friday as part of an investigation into a terrorist conspiracy, but there were no immediate details on the nature of the planned attack. It is believed that French security forces were the intended target of the attack. 

One of the suspects is a minor serving a probationary sentence at an educational facility after being sentenced to three years, two suspended, for trying to travel to Syria, the Paris prosecutor’s office said. The other three are known for common law offences,
